    My private teacher once told me that I can use soap and water on the

    to protect from the sweat on the hands). Soap and water has worked
    quite well for me.
    I'd be a bit wary of soap and water on a wooden instrument. Even if the fingerboard is treated, the designers wouldn't be expecting the wood to
    be regularly soaked. If the treatment is oil based soap will probably
    remove it as well as the grease.
    I use furniture polish on various instruments - this is, after all,
    designed to be used on a variety of wood finishes.
    Also, I think isopropyl alcohol works, but I'm not sure how safe it
    is. Anyone?
    Isopropyl alcohol is an extremely good solvent for oils and grease -
    this includes many varnishes. Be very careful with full strength
    alcohol near varnish.
